KAMILYA JUBRAN & WERNER HASLER

A radical and telepathic duo. Geniuses of shape-shifting traditions. Transforming vocals, oud and trumpet with quadraphonic electronics.

Musician, composer and one of the most revered figures for today’s younger generation of experimental and alternative Arabic music-scenes, Kamilya Jubran (text, oud & vocals, collaborates with long standing musical partner, composer, accomplished trumpet player and seasoned electronic musician Werner Hasler (trumpet & electronics).

Together, Kamilya Jubran and Werner Hasler unravel a musical universe of possibilities; a unison of timbres, cultures complementing, the complicity of verses, and modes and languages. Lyrical, within a sound full of contrast and ornamentation, they pursue an expansion of their repertoire with imaginative interpretation and improvisation. Their long-standing musical pact has been nurtured since 2002, based on the probing and opening up of musical modes and traditions. The chemistry between Jubran and Hasler’s exchange gives birth to a singular, original and extratemporal sound.

WITCH 'N' MONK

Radically manipulated flutes, anarchic soprano vocals and analogue electronics

"Blending Latin American flutes, electronics, complex vocal lines with a touch of Frank Zappa lyricism and a radical punk aesthetic, the duo of Heidi Heidelberg and Mauricio Velasierra crafts a dramatically bizarre vocal music from another dimension! Intertwining dark/light, feminine/masculine, composed/improvised and punk/romantic, dreamlike improvisations are sampled, manipulated and reinvented through the lens of contemporary music and pop. You have never heard anything quite like Witch ’n’ Monk!" - John Zorn
